is president obama being indifferent? does the white house need to do more? >> i don't understand how someone can consider the white house being indifferent when this administration has given more money to israel than any other administration before it. i don't understand how you can consider this president to be indifferent when it's because of the president they had the technology and military equipment necessary to protect themselves from the bombs coming into the country. i don't want to see us go to another war. i know quite a few americans feel the same way. and i talked to some sources in d.c. this weekend and a lot of the congressional staffs also feel the same way. we don't want to see the american people dragged into another war. and so i think what the president is doing is exactly what needs to be done, which is finding a diplomatic solution, using our friends as well as our, you know, allies in the area to try to find a resolution that we don't have to get more involved than just talking. >> will, what is the appropriate role for the u.s., if any
